jim was really hurt, and would not recover quick enough to be an asset to his tribe :<( poor bobby jon, what a night mare to be in that shape right off the |( i had steph on my team, so she will soar!! i hope!! :t-up: best episode yet!! and that spider they keep showing :unde:

I was asking my husband, who happens to actually be a Nurse Practitioner, why the muscular guys would get the heat prostrations and not the skinny guys and the women. He said that to regulate the body temperature, the blood vessels constrict in an effort to get blood to vital organs. The muscular guys would probably not have any fat layers to help regulate their body temperature, and so the larger muscles would constrict (the spasms). The women all have some fat layers, even if they are buff. Unless they are skeletal, but there weren't any of those. And the "regular" guys probably had the normal muscle to fat ratio. So this just goes to show that in an environment like that, it doesn't necessarily pay to be the most physically fit. Sounds like my kind of town.

I think after he was hit by that stick, and after being so weak, he just got sick. If something hurts enough, and it scares you, a person gets sick! And on top of everything else that was happening, it was literally the straw that broke the camels back! LOL

Rob {l{ ! We shall see.. rumor has it that Blake has a little romance ..dont know if thats in sequester or whatever ? After show promo a red herring for a Blake boot ? or "sometimes a rose is a rose right under your nose"...to soon to say without the TV promo .
